Bath resealing at your home in Filching
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you have sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant, we can normally put it right.
Somewhere like Filching, older buildings can move slightly, which is hard on sealant. We seal baths full of water so the joint is at its widest.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Filching, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

What we are called out for in Filching
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Look out for these signs:
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant
If you manage a building such as Willingdon Primary School, we repair changing rooms and washrooms as well as work in homes.

How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Most customers in Filching get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Filching questions
Do you work for schools and businesses in Filching?
Yes, and we’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. Tell us about access and timings for the building.
Do you cover villages like Filching?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
